Hello guys,

I still trying to install GNURadio on debian 7.6 i86, but there is a  
problem with installing ‘pyqwt5’ package with pybombs! The following  
error  
is appeared:

packages to install: [‘pyqwt5’, ‘mcpp’, ‘db48’, ‘ice’, ‘gnuradio’]  
install called (pyqwt5)  
install type priority: [‘deb’, ‘src’]  
install deb called (pyqwt5)  
deb is not available locally  
check remote repositories…  
install src called (pyqwt5)  
state = configure  
Current step: (pyqwt5 :: make)  
make  
(’\n make -j4\n’, ‘\n make -j$makewidth\n’)  
(’\n make -j4\n’, ‘\n make -j4\n’)  
bash exec (/home/alizadeh/gnuradio\_src/pybombs/src/pyqwt5/configure)::  
make -j4

make: \*\*\* No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.  
ERROR:root:PyBOMBS Make step failed for package (pyqwt5) please see bash  
output above for a reason (hint: look for the word Error)

What I should do? Please help me ☹

Best,  
Mostafa

I’m not sure what’s wrong here, but it should be trying to install a  
deb called python-qwt5-qt4, not pyqwt5. Perhaps run an apt-get update  
and try again. The optimal solution is to find out if this is a bug in  
pybombs or your setup and send a patch if it applies to others.  
Otherwise you can get around this by installing python-qwt5-qt4  
yourself and then use pybombs config to tell pybombs you already have  
pyqwt5 installed.

Hi Nathan,

I think the package is going to be installed isn’t “python-qwt5-qt4”.  
The  
folder location of the package is going to be installed by pubombs is: "  
/home/alizadeh/gnuradio\_src/pybombs/src/pyqwt5". I tried to find an  
installation help for this package and I found it (in the attachment).  
The installation configuration is returned with an error which doesn’t  
lead  
to produce a “make” file for the installation!  
I wonder why? Please help me. I stranding on it for a while! ☹

Best,  
Mostafa

Different package managers call the same package by different names.  
You can look at the recipe  
([https://github.com/pybombs/pybombs/blob/master/recipes/pyqwt5.lwr#L22](https://github.com/pybombs/pybombs/blob/master/recipes/pyqwt5.lwr#L22))  
to see what Debian-based distros call it. If you’ve tried to build  
this manually and the configure step gives you errors then those  
errors are very relevant to resolving the issue. Can you paste the  
error output somewhere?
